Average customer rating

The most powerful 980ti on the market.

Words can't describe how satisfied i am with this purchase. It absolutely devours every game i throw at it, no matter how demanding.

This card comes with a Core Clock of 1253MHz and a Boost Clock: 1355MHz - easily the fastest out-of-the box 980ti on the market.

It is also one of the very few cards out there that comes with a decent memory overclock (7220mhz GDDR5)

The card runs silently even on high stress and it has ZERO coil whine. That's obviously due to the massive air cooler it has, which brings me to my next point:

The temps are excellent. I get 35c on idle and 60c on full stress.

The only con would probably be the sheer size of the thing. It's massive. Other than that, everything else is top-notch.

Look no further, this is the 980ti to get.

Amazing card with few faults.

I purchased this card after having issues with the 980 ti gigabyte G1 Gaming card. I had two of them, the first one the wire was clipping on the fan and the second one none stop coil whine even when idling on the desktop.

This card is much better all round. Better look, better factory over clock, quiet and runs cooler than the two G1 Gaming cards I had.
The only issue with this is coil whine again. Some have it and some don't. It's the luck of the draw. I have accepected the coil whine and hopefully it will die down over time.

My card has 71.7% asic compared to the two G1 gaming cards I had which were 65% and 68%

If you don't care about the size buy this card! You won't regret it!

Zotac GeForce GTX 980Ti AMP Extreme Edit

This card replaces my 3 year old 660TI Card. Nice car runs at 2560X1600 ultra setting easily 60 - 80 FPS if you over clock card with supplied software can get games in 4k to run at 62-70 fps (most run 50 - 60ish) . Nice card glad I bought it, as it was this or a fury.

Witcher 3, batman, crysis 3 all games look amazing on this card :-)

Cons:
Big Card - so make sure you have a case that can take it.
Noisy when fans first kick in, then OK hardly noticeable after a couple of mins (like most powerful cards)

Exactly what I was waiting for

Have had a GTX 970 SLI setup for a few months now, and within some of the games I've been playing have seen some weird issues. Due to the memory limitation of gtx970 ( 3.5GB ) have seen some massive FPS drops randomly - to keep in mind have 3x32" screen ( 7680x1440 ) to power.
This card has delivered what I was expected - massive size and extremely good performance. Titanfall with high details 7680x1440 most of the time fix 60fps, during heavy effects drops down to 50-55. With Insane details can drop in this occasions down to 45fps ( but mainly still around 60fps )
Overall: 5* and recommend to anyone who is looking for a single card for multi screen setup, and trying to avoid the artifacts of SLI

Fantastic card and passive cooling when

This card is excellent. HUGE, but excellent. I have upgraded from the GTX 650 Ti and obviously this card is miles and miles ahead.

FPS/Games:
91FPS (the maximum) in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare when running at DSR (2715x1527 on my 120hz 1080p monitor) & everything turned up to 11;
Between 60FPS and 80FPS in Far Cry 4 on some of the highest settings;
Over 120FPS on Spliter Cell Conviction with all top settings.

Enabling or Disabling Sync Every Frame doesn't seem to affect this card either at 120hz even if I'm not getting those frames.

The 3 fans only turn on when the card is under load and I have never seen the temperature go above 65
